Chapter 100 Win-win
Chapter 100 Win-win
Tan Tai Fang Tu forced himself to look like he was enjoying it, and said in a casual tone, "Captain Sikong should have told you just now, I will repeat it to you again."
"It is a matter of great importance to escort the tax silver to the inner transport warehouse. We must work together. Captain Han wants us to follow Captain Pei's arrangements first and try to do a good job on this matter."
"Sikong and I will be watching this matter. If anyone dares not to listen to Captain Pei, I will not forgive you."
Pei Yuan sneered.
These three simple sentences turned out to be cunning thoughts behind by the old fellow Tan Tai Fang Tu.
Emphasis was placed on unity between the upper and lower levels, rather than on obedience to orders. In this way, if there was a lack of unity, both the upper and lower levels would be responsible, which invisibly divided Pei Yuan's responsibilities and power in half.
Another thing is that Tan Tai Fang Tu elevated his and Si Kong Sui's status to a higher level and became the person who supervised the execution.
In name, he respected Pei Yuan, but in reality, he took all the authority for himself.
Things have come to this point, so Pei Yuan naturally can't just throw the cards away and stop playing.
That would be a bit inconsiderate.
Didn’t you see that these two only dared to make small movements?
Pei Yuan looked at Tan Tai Fang Tu, and waited until Tan Tai Fang Tu finished speaking before looking at the Jinyi officers and said in a deep voice, "You all heard clearly what Captain Sikong and Captain Tan Tai said just now."
"My name is Pei Yuan, you can just call me Pei Qianhu."
"According to Captain Han's order, everyone here must obey my orders."
Pei Yuan paused here, and glanced at everyone from left to right, "I have finished what I want to say, who objects?"
No one objected.
Even Sikong Sui and Tantai Fangtu were speechless in the face of Pei Yuan's concise and clear statement.
Pei Yuan ignored them and gave orders directly to these people.
"Counting from the left, twenty people will stay behind to protect the safety of this courtyard. The rest will follow Captain Sikong and Captain Tantai to find a place to stay nearby."
Sikong Sui frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "What about the imperial court's mission?"
Pei Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him.
Sikong Sui shut up immediately.
Pei Yuan continued, "The three generals who followed me on the mission have all caught a cold and need to rest for a few more days. And if my guess is correct, Han Qianhu should send people to support us soon."
"We are not in a hurry to leave, lest we miss each other. As for the escort of the imperial tax silver, this thousand households will take care of it."
After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he signaled to Sikong Sui with his eyes that he could speak now.
Sikong Sui frowned slightly and said, "Since the captain and his guards are in trouble, how about I and Captain Tantai take turns guarding?"
Although Sikong Sui had just seen the three generals basking in the sun in the yard with great energy, since Pei Yuan had already said this, he couldn't expose them in public.
Pei Yuan deliberately said, "I have some plans, but they are not yet clear. If you are here, you might ruin things."
Pei Yuan's move was clearly an attempt to sow discord.
Although Sikong Sui had confidence in his men, he couldn't help but doubt Pei Yuan's purpose by cutting out a small number of them and leaving them here.
Could it be that he was trying to win over his subordinates?
Although Sikong Sui thought he was pretty good to his subordinates, it was better to keep more of good things like money on himself.
So what if someone feels wronged?
Pei Yuan looked at Tan Tai Fang Tu and Si Kong Sui with burning eyes, "What do you think?"
Tan Tai Fang Tu had an unpleasant expression on her face and remained silent. Si Kong Sui pondered for a moment and felt that Pei Yuan's first order was difficult to refute, so he said, "Since the commander has given the order, we should naturally do as he says." Pei Yuan smiled and did not make any other arrangements.
The conversation between the three of them just now was not very harmonious, so there was no point in wasting time now.
The two men stood up and said goodbye, taking the remaining soldiers with them.
Pei Yuan watched them leave before shouting to the room behind, "Stop looking, come out."
The three people who had been watching the movement outside through the crack in the door on guard hurried out.
Pei Yuan glanced at the three of them and ordered, "The two old guys send over 20 people. Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie each take 10. Train them first and see if they are useful. They will be your team in the future."
After hearing the promise, the two men excitedly went to choose from the twenty remaining Jinyi captains.
Song Chunniang looked at Pei Yuan somewhat unhappily.
The three of them, who are general flag bearers of the seventh rank, are now left alone. Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie have already started leading troops, but Song Chunniang has gained nothing.
Pei Yuan didn't want to pay attention to it and kill her temper.
But considering that he was in the wrong, he could only patiently say, "Our Qianhu Division is different from ordinary guards. It is inevitable that we will have some contact with the affairs of the martial arts world. I plan to wait for those martial arts people to come, select some who are willing to be recruited, and then arrange them for you."
"When the time comes, you may be more comfortable leading those Jianghu people."
Song Chunniang was immediately happy when she heard this. She was too embarrassed to show it too obviously, but she couldn't hide the brilliance in her eyes.
Pei Yuan pondered over Han Qianhu's intentions and what happened today, and slowly came up with a plan.
However, I still need to discuss with my good brother Lu Dahua about the extent of the follow-up.
Thinking of Lu Dahua, Pei Yuan looked through the creditor map.
Thanks to this good brother, we now have fewer creditors and are more efficient.
After finding Lu Dahua's residence, Pei Yuan realized that he lived not far away.
It seems that this group of people have been staring at me.
This means that he couldn't hide the fact that a large group of Jinyiwei came to his house today.
I just don't know what he is thinking.
It seems that I need to go to him in person and have a good talk with him.
In addition, we must find out whether Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fangtu's idea of self-preservation through playing badly is the plan of most people in Zhenxie Qianhu Office, or whether they have some collusion with the bureaucratic group in Jiangnan.
If the two have nothing to do with each other, Pei Yuan can do a lot of things.
If Pei Yuan could sell Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fangtu, it would certainly make the bureaucratic group in Jiangnan behind Lu Dahua relax their vigilance.
Maybe if the two gangs start fighting, Pei Yuan can take the opportunity to complete the task assigned to him by Han Qianhu?
What is win-win?
That means Captain Pei has to win twice.
Pei Yuan thought about it and checked Yue Qingfeng's position again.
When he saw where Yue Qingfeng was, Pei Yuan frowned.
If Pei Yuan was not mistaken, the place where Yue Qingfeng was was not a guesthouse. Judging from the location on the map, it was more like the county government office here.
So, Yue Qingfeng is not in the same group with Lu Dahua and the others?
But judging from the situation, Yue Qingfeng claims to look down on the court's lackeys, but he doesn't seem to be a simple gangster either.
